QUEEN ANNE, MARYLAND — A Liberty Tree gathering is set for 10 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 3, 2026, at Frederick Douglass Park on the Tuckahoe, 13211 Lewistown Road. RSVP details are on the host listing.

In his 1855 account, Douglass wrote that enslaved children were not kept in family records and were not told their years. The Baily line in that record (grandparents) uses a different spelling from the Bailey name he used in 1838. Both spellings appear in the historical record as written.
